    "Paper or Plastic?"

    I said "Fuck you buddy.......I'll carry my shit home myself !"

    When I was in high school and working as a cashier in a grocery store, a lesbian couple tried to take me home. They said: "you are cute, do you like girls and would you like to go home with us?".

    I politely replied "no thanks, here's your change".

    thank god for that!! Thats up there with sexual harrassment, just in a verbal kinda way :mad:

    Whenever I buy any strong over-the-counter painkillers from the chemist the Pharmicist always comes over and has a big chat to me about how addictive they are, make sure I eat them with food, do I need a pamphlet on the dangers of taking them regularly...WTF??? I know they need to overlook each transaction of this medication, but Im not going to launch into a big speil on how I take them coz ive got Scoliosis and also suffer from hip problems...

    theres that fine line isnt there?

    What makes you think scholiosis should be kept a secret from a medical health professional who's trying to help you?

    One time, I was buying some baby clothes for a baby shower I was going to. The cashier at Target said "oh, when is your baby due?" I wasn't even pregnant. And I'm not even fat.

    I just said "oh, these are not for me, I'm going to a shower". Still, having to explain to a stranger is kind of irritating. I'm usually pretty good with the snappy come-back, but I was like "DUH".

    Yeah but they're just trying to be friendly. They don't mean to be intrusive or rude. Most of 'em.

    It seems to me, you get one of two types of checkout operators...
    a) The quiet one who is extremely mechanical and does their job quickly or
    b) The nosey, twittering one who asks you eveything under the sun!!

    In both times that ive bought Pregnancy tests (okay, there mightve been more :eek: ) the person behind the counter has commented "Oh, are you hoping? Are you excited? Was this expected?" each time thinking theyre being witty...yet I think plain rude!!
    Has anyone else got any dodgy stories of these workers going too far?


    I have bought alot of pregnancy test in the last few months and someone always comments. I dont care, no big deal.

    I know. :)

    I work with the public, and I can think of a lot of crazy-ass stuff I've said without thinking. I'm sure people have left my office and though "what the fuck was THAT all about".

    I've gotten a "good for you!" when purchasing Magnum condoms. It kinda threw me for a loop, but now they probably know why I am so smiley all the time :D

    I had a cashier think she knew me. She was calling me by another name and telling me about the new job she was going to be starting, so I just went with it.
    She kept hugging me, telling me she was going to miss me. She was going on and on about all sorts of stuff - Sweetie this, Sweetie that.

    Then, she introduced me as <i don't remember the name she used> to another customer.

    That's when I finally decided to say my real name.

    She still gave me a hug goodbye and wanted me to write my email down on a list she was collecting.

    It was entertaining.

    I say "Do you have condoms?" (because they were behind the counter).

    The lady goes down an isle, brings back a jar, and says, "olives"?

    :p

    Being a clerk can be boring, but if you know how to keep things entertaining ^, some will never know you're totally goofing off on the job.

    I would do something like this, just to make the customer ask again and see if they blush. Being blonde and playing dumb can be lots of fun. :D

    Once I was grabbing some food at McDonald's and the guy waiting on me informed me that he was almost done with his shift. He was like "I'm going to go home, but I'd rather go home with you." :rolleyes: He said it all smooth-like, too...lol! I wanted to be like "uh...next time you hit on a girl, make sure you're not wearing your McDonald's uniform." ;)

    I'm always a little surprised when I'm buying just a couple of things, like a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk and the cashier asks if I need help getting it out to the car...

    Now, I am 6'2" with an athletic build and I'm thinking, "Um, I could carry YOU out to the car without any assistance; I think I can get it." I know they are just doing their job, but it seems weird.
